A man with expensive tastes I see !

I take it you've seen the pair on Ebay that have been converted to coilovers?

You're not kidding, the last coilover converted set sold for £995!

Unless you know somebody who will sell you some at mate's rates, I expect you'll have to pay at least £300, even for a rough pair.
